Big Brother’s Nadia Almada stunned in a skimpy blue bikini amid six stone weight loss as she soaked up the sun during a trip to Gran Canaria. 

The reality TV star, 47, was crowned champion of series five in 2004 and made history as the first ever transgender contestant to star on the Channel 4 programme.

And she showed Spanish holiday makers that she is feeling fabulous as she sported a royal blue two-piece as she strutted about the beach. 

After taking a dip in the ocean, she flaunted the results of her new gastric sleeve while taking a relaxing beach-side shower.

She looked sensational in her jewelled beachwear as she was seen cleaning the salty water out her blonde-hightled locks

More than 20 years on from her win, Nadia revealed she has slimmed down from 17st 6lb down to 11st 8lb after being a ‘fully-fledged carbo-tarian.’ 

The star recently took to Instagram to reveal her slimmed down frame after dropping from a size 20 to a size 12 as she wowed in a black swimsuit. 

Speaking candidly about her decision to undergo the surgery, she told OK! Magazine that she was eating an enormous amount prior to the surgery, despite being a vegan. 

Nadia explained: ‘I was a fully-fledged carbo-tarian. 

‘It was so bad that I’d eat two large pizzas with three sides in one night – and that was meant for a family of four. It’s crazy.’

She continued: ‘I was a size 20 and a shadow of my former self. 

‘I had no stamina, no energy, no vitality – and there was a higher risk of having major heart problems or a stroke from the weight that I’d been carrying.’

The TV star also joked she couldn’t wear heels due to the swelling in her feet but now feels she has had a ‘fresh beginning.’
